It was the Soviets who first start calling anyone who disagreed with them “right wing”, even those who were further to the left than the Soviets themselves.

Soviets used "Fascist" for that. They never used "Nazis", because Nazi was short for "National Socialist", couldn't admit they were fellow socialists.

Yes, in fact, the Soviets would often use terms like “Hitlerite” when they needed to refer to actual Nazis to avoid using that term.
